They Didn't Count My Vote and I'm Fu#&ing Pissed
I’M FUC*(#&$G PISSED. Pardon my language but that’s what I’m feeling right now. I’ve tried SO FU@#U#@NG HARD to cast a ballot, and it looks like my vote isn’t going to be counted. I requested an absentee ballot from the Clerk’s office TWO WEEKS ago, and when it didn’t show up a week later, I requested ANOTHER ONE. THAT ONE showed up on Saturday. I promptly filled it out and went to the United States Post Office and paid $16.50 to OVERNIGHT the ballot to Michigan. The Postal worker assured me it would be on Monday. Well, somebody f@#*#ked up because it’s not there. I just called the clerk’s office and they told me they hadn’t received my ballot, and that the shipment of overnight mail from the Post Office had already arrived. My ballot wasn’t in it. So I called the Post Office in West Bloomfield and they said they didn’t have my ballot either. I put my parents’ address down as the Return Address, but it’s not at their house either. So, yeah, I’m f#*@king pissed because I’ve been denied my right to vote. I really wanted to participate in this election too. Tell you what, I know you’ve already decided who your voting for, but maybe…if you’re voting in Michigan (which, once again, I’m apparently NOT), you haven’t decided about the ballot initiatives yet. Maybe you don’t even know what they are. A lot of people skip over them ‘cause they’re tough to read and understand. One of them is Stem Cell research, the other is Medical Marijuana, and I encourage you to vote YES on both of them. Maybe everybody in your life is healthy and grand, but if not, let’s help them out. (And even if everybody is healthy and grand in YOUR life, there are a lot of sick people out there who could use some comfort and cures).
Instead of trying to blame
Instead of trying to blame the Post Office or anyone else, take responsibility for the fact you waited too long to request the absentee ballot.
Uh, I requested it over
Uh, I requested it over two weeks in advance. And then it didn't come. So I requested a second one. Re-read the post, counselor Anonymous. And no, I won't take the blame for bringing a$$h@!es to my blog either.
Whatever you did, you
Whatever you did, you obviously waited too late. Anyway, name-calling and personal attacks are immature. Can you stick to the issue under discussion without descending into childish conduct?
Yeah Ricky, stop being so
Yeah Ricky, stop being so childish. Grow up and start agreeing with people who spend all day stalking more successful people on their parents' basement-internet.
I cast my absentee ballot yesterday and I'm just going to assume that it was counted. I also wasted 6 hours campaigning for Obama in a state that he carried by over 15%. I feel pretty good though...as far as I can tell, everything/everyone I voted for won. Pretty amazing. Cheers!

Okay, the last post has been updated. Will write up full story soon.
Right to Vote? Anyone care
Right to Vote? Anyone care to explain where that comes from, I thought it was a privilege? Isn't that why felons have the privilege taken away from them?
2 weeks is hardly considered
2 weeks is hardly considered enough time to request a ballot and get it returned!!
especially if your out of state or more then a few counties away from your registered voting address!!
next time if i were you i would request a ballot as early as possible.. Fill it out then mail it to a friend ASAP and then they can drop it off at your local election office ahead of the election night or drop it off at a polling place just make sure you sign your name on the envelope and make sure the person also signs it as the authorized agent in your behalf!!
